The only gaming I managed last night was patching Pirates of the Burning Sea. I’ll have time to log in tonight I hope.
So I’ve been checking out gaming for my kids, as my daughter begins to seem more interested in playing computer games. (My boy ? Pfffft. [...]

Have you ever had *all* the responsibility for something difficult ? The only thing that could make things worse would be, also having *No* control or ability to work on the difficult task.
Yeah, that’s where I’m at with my ERP project.
Seven days into the new system, we didn’t test, and now we’re late with the [...]

What a surprise - the podcast SUWT (which is the polite way to say Shut Up We’re Talking) has declared this blog of the week, for show #16.
I’m…… embarassed. It’s always nice to be noticed. Thanks folks !

Wow. That’s sad.
I have been reading Courtv.com news for years. They’ve been a great source of information about the notorious and sad, spectacularly awful and silly things happening in the world of criminal activity. And apparently, they’ve gotten cancelled for not being in the core business of “getting people to watch the network”.
Something weird happened [...]

It started at something called the F13 forums (via the Raphster); then Tipa went ahead and did her list of “best MMO’s”. Rao followed next. Keen took a break from WOW to post one too. I sense a theme developing.
I was going to comment on Tipa’s then realized it’s more fair to at least give [...]

Every so often, MMO’s get touched by the mainstream press, usually in a bad way. Anything about kids just gets me *right here* (grabs his chest). Maybe because I love mine so much. So I had to post this story that pretty much left me heartbroken.
The girl was beaten with leather [...]

On October 21st, we were treated to the experience of facing a wildfire and figuring out whether to stay or flee.
I’m finally gaming on this busy weekend, when I walk outside to take out the trash and notice a very large cloud covering the sun. Without thinking much further about it, I go back inside.
Soon my [...]

Apparently, I’m off the wagon. Over two months have gone by, and I’m still not signing in for any MMO’s. Unlike last year, this time it seems like I’m really done.
I get a bit more done lately, which is nice. I spend more time with my two sweet kids, which is very nice. Wait, scratch [...]

One issue I’ve been frustrated with in the MMO world is the lack of information about how to play the game. In a pen-and-paper RPG, counter-based boardgame, or some simpler games - the rules are known. Swing a sword, roll a 20-sided die, and if you get above X number then you hit the monster. [...]

I found this story very interesting. Perhaps because I did *almost* the same thing.
Jacob Pribyl is apparently a current or former Everquest2 player. He’s a likely typical player of the game - 20 year old male. And it appears he met a gal while playing. This is the 2000’s version of the long distance relationship - [...]
